    Great,

    But....Microsoft silo-ed - only runs on Windows PCs - no Macs or other platforms, people.

    So, not quite "public domain"!

    Should be constructed to run on a platform neutral web site.

    Doesn't Google Sky already do this?

    Or rather, how is this different from Google Sky? How is it better, and how is it inferior?

    I notice it seems to work only with Windows. Will there be a Mac version?


  • [4] Brian from Brooklyn July 08, 2008 - 10:57AM

    Agreed--Mac version, please! A good portion of your audience has no way of experiencing what you're talking about.

    will it work on a mac?

    as a new Mac owner, I second #4's suggestion!!

    Can't watch Real Player anymore or Windows Media player, but my computer doesn't crash!!

    Brian PLEASE when you have amazing quests like Kevin .. do ALWAYS ask about why access is NOT open access.

    Thanks
